Why are you so high on asa? I really didn’t look at anyone in the 1st rd in depth.

The dream is dead but he is arguably the best athlete in the class at that size. Super fluid mover. I think he is going to be who people think Essengue is.

Here's my draft "guide":

Lots of stats there that are useful.

5 centers taken in the first round with Hansen and Beringer going higher than I expected. The big man is making a return.

Wolf just went as well making it 6.

Good thing the Warriors have the center spot locked up already.

Damn... can Dubbs get Fleming or Raynaud?

whatisacenter · Post #469 » by **whatisacenter** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 3:38 am

Another C goes at the end of the first making it 7 total.

Miami took Jakucionis who was still available at 20...seems like good value. He needs to shoot better and cut down on the turnovers but has good size for the position.

Kam Jones gives the warriors a backup PG who can score

Wow, you got Raynaud and Kalmbrenner much lower than I thought theyd go (late 1st / early 2nd). Are they soft or do they have limited movbility?

azwfan · Post #473 » by **azwfan** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 4:07 am

Also at this point (OKC traded their last 1st for a heavily protected future 1st / 2x 2nds), i think the Warriors should be able to move up value wise to any pick tmr night with 41, a future 2nd, and cash.

Kalkbrenner has mobility issues. Raynaud is soft. Raynaud has some offense. Kalkbrenner does not.

If they can move up to get Thiero, they should. Fleming might have medical red flags or something along those lines.

Heat might have just gotten the steal of the draft with that Warriors pick.

It was definitely a good value pick

I don't believe we have any of those left

Pretty sure we should have another 2nd after the new league year starts.
